Hi Scott. I tried using the Gmail account, but it didn't work so I changed it back to my mail.com account.

@"Cee-Jay Aurinko" Can you switch back to gmail? I believe I can get it to work for you with gmail.

@reading-is-awesome I'm sorry for the trouble. What happens exactly when you click the link in the email? What's the next thing you see after clicking the link? Is there any kind of success or error message?

I am having trouble verifying my email address. I have gone through step number 4. I have even gone into the settings and manged my filter rules to remove any possible filter than would not allow me to receive the email. I will just wait to see if it comes through later this evening. Any suggestions other than waiting? I only have 1 other personal email address that I could switch to and it is from college that I do not necessarily use very often. Thank you for any help!

The best suggestion I have is to move on to step 5 and contact your email provider. You can let me know what they say.

Unfortunately, I cannot make your email provider give the emails to you. They are being sent to the email address associated with your account.

I created a gmail account to switch to, but am unable to update it myself due to being a new member (as verified in a previous post) could you please update for me so I can verify? My new address is [removed for member's privacy :)]

How do I change my email? I don't think my comcast email is working for the verification code. Unless if I need to wait 3 days to gain access to the Review Team. It says I have to be a registered user for 3 days to create my profile, so I'm not sure if that applies to get access to everything else, too.

You change your email via your user control panel. But as a new member, you may not be able to and may have to contact Scott about it :tiphat:

Thank you! I guess I'll wait the 3 days & see if I can change the email then because I saw on the control panel that it says I can change it but there isn't a way. Will waiting negatively impact me, though? I saw I got -10 points for not having a valid email because I'm not getting the verification link.

I changed your email for you. Good luck! :)
